Reliability and Availability Modeling of the MIN (Multistage Interconnection Network) System

Reliability evaluation methodologies of the multipath MIN system are reviewed and critically compared. Some guidelines are proposed to select efficient evaluation method for the system designers to use. Considering the switch failure and repair characteristics of the MIN system, three types of Markov models are proposed for the MIN system availability models. These models can be used for the MIN performance analysis. The performance of the MIN system are supposed to vary according to the failure state of the system.
